As women around the world struggle to combat stress, pressure, and fears of economic uncertainty, Destination Rejuvenation provides much needed solace for beauty industry professionals.

At the intimate three-day health and wellness retreat, Mary Wilson, founder of Rejuvenation Mind Body Spirit, and Ann Mincey, vice president of global communications for Redkin 5th Avenue NYC, guided 18 salon owners, stylists, school instructors, and marketing executives through a path of self-discovery and stress relief. With Mincey’s book Get Glowing! You Are A Star Right Where You Are serving as a guidebook, participants explored the five “Glowpoints” — body, thoughts, relationships, resources, and services — which allow for personal reflection on life’s most important issues.

The program is applicable to women of all ages and in all life stages, offering inspiration and tools for improving overall health, wellness and relationships in business and personal arenas, interspersed with rejuvenation activities such as meditation, stretching, relaxing yoga, energizing walks, breathing exercises, journaling, communication, and stress relief.

On the last day, attendees cleared their minds and hearts by releasing worries and fears into the ocean. Wilsonexplained, “Each person wrote a message in the sand that they wanted to release into the universe. This is an exercise that I highly recommend and a freeing experience in the unmistakably beautiful and calming ocean setting.”
